CALL TO THE PUBLIC Ms Cindy Thrasher,1954 S.Moreno,addressed the council regarding the possibility of "Pool Pals"being able to receive some money from the CDBG grant.They would like to have $3,000 for swimming lessons,which would pay for the lifeguards and the instructors. Mr.Dick Smith,442 N.Pinyon,addressed the council regarding the placement of a traffic light at Delaware and Apache Trail.He stated he represented about 150 to 200 landowners who live on Delaware.He would like to know what the delay is in the traffic light there,as another fatality occurred at that intersection last week.He added he had talked to Mr.Grandy 3 weeks ago who told him the only remaining obstacle is the Arizona Water Company water line having to be moved.He stated he thought when US 60 was changed off of Apache Trail,that $3.5 million was set aside for traffic control on the Trail,and all he has seen go in is sidewalks part of the way.He stated the landowners would like an update,and he had tried to get it on the agenda through Councilmember Barker but he had been too late. Ms Anne Coe,5776 E.Forest,addressed the council regarding environmentally sensitive land ordinances.She is the chairman of the Superstition Area Land Trust.She believes the city needs environmentally sensitive land ordinances and wash protection ordinances as they will help to maintain the character and identity of our community.They will preserve the existing landscapes by protecting the topological features in the native vegetation.She added the natural waterways and watersheds should be protected,which are human and wildlife corridors.She had adapted the Environmentally Sensitive Land Ordinances from Scottsdale for Pinal County,which she presented to the REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 2 OF 16 council,plus she gave them a copy of the Pima County Wash Protection Ordinance.She also requested the council to reject Sky Harbor's attempt to have low flights over Apache Junction. Mr.Glenn McMinn,1159 S.Idaho Road,addressed the council regarding the telecommunications tower being constructed near Idaho and Broadway.He is very concerned about this and does not believe the city has his best interests atlieart.He stated the tower is being built two lots over from the back of his property,and at 65'tall it will block his view of the mountain.He surveyed other owners on the street and none of them believe it is zoned for this structure.He asked someone from the city how this happened,and he was told the city zoning laws do not cover these towers.He wanted to know why no one had approached them to ask them about the tower going in behind them,as they had when Roadhaven was built across from them 15 years ago.He does not believe a tower should be built in a residential area.He commented he had been at the town hall and left that meeting with a feeling that the citizens wanted a planned growth that would keep the aesthetic value of the mountain protected,which this tower will not.He also wanted to know whether he files an injunction against the city or the company building the tower. Ms Rosalie Gifford,201 Public Works Department group in picking up the adopted on Apache Trail. she added she has never pleasant. E.Southern Ave.,addressed the council regarding the .She complimented the department on assisting her RV debris they had gathered throughout the area they had She stated all of them were pleasant and nice,and run across anyone in the city who is not nice and Mr.Russell Reardon,370 S.Copper Drive,addressed the council on the rezoning for Canterbury Homes on the property adjacent to Azure Skies.He stated most of the residents of Azure Skies are glad to see the zoning going from multi -family to single family units;however,they are concerned about the increased traffic on 4th Avenue.The roadway is narrow,and most of the residences are mobile homes through which street sounds can be heard very clearly.He stated most of the residents would prefer to keep 4th Avenue closed,if possible.He added he is also for the resolution to keep the airplanes from flying low over the Apache Junction area. Mr.Thomas Bulinski,2288 E.Southern Ave.,addressed the council.He stated they have been circulating petitions around town protesting the airliners flying low over the town,and they have a lot of signatures.He stated they had wanted to hand it over to the council.The deadline in Washington is April 21 and everything has to be in triplicate.However,they are still trying to get more names and they will send it off.He also addressed the council regarding the water department.He has some property on Acacia in the county area which the city is considering annexing.He stated all the landowners want water but are having trouble getting dollar amounts from the water district on the cost.They are all willing to share the cost,but they have never been given an amount.He would like some assistance,and has REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 3 OF 16 already talked to Doug Dobson and Kevin Cox.He stated they have waited three months so far. Mr.Dale Head,2774 S.Mariposa,addressed the council regarding the "property war".He is concerned about what he is reading in the paper and feels that everyone should learn to get along together and solve the problems together. He does not believe people should live behind walls,but should coexist like families,watching out for each other. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail,addressed the council regarding Ordinance No.989.He is concerned that multi -family homes are being excluded from this property,and he would like to see more of the multi -family homes.He believes the city may be pushing single family homes.He stated the last election showed the people believe we need better employment,better housing and better transportation.He believes the council is putting more weight on the 55 plus developments and it appears to him they may be looking out for their own interests.He does not want to see that happen;the city should start thinking like a city. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated City Manager Curtis Shook has a severe case of bronchitis and was unable to attend.He added that staff would follow up on the variety of citizens'concerns expressed this evening. PUBLIC HEARINGS PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.988/ANNEXATION CASE AN -6-96 )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias 'briefed the council on the item.He stated this is for annexing 80 gross acres at the northwest corner of E.Baseline and South Cortez Rd.It is directly west of the Rancho Mirage Mobile Home Park and the Saguaro Canyon Mobile Home Park.It consists of four 20 acre undeveloped parcels zoned general rural.The necessary number of signatures have been gathered.The property is currently being rezoned and a preliminary plat has been received for the south 40 acres,which is requesting conventional single family homes by planned development;the north 40 acres is requesting multi -family homes by planned development zoning.He stated staff recommends approval of Ordinance No.988. Vice Mayor Richmond opened the item to questions by the council.There being no questions,she called for a motion. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 4 OF 16 Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.988 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED. Councilmember Surra SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. City Clerk Kathy Connelly read Ordinance No.988 by title only. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.988,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED. Councilmember Surra SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.989/CASE NO. PZ-4-97/RENAISSANCE POINT REZONING )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.It is a rezoning request for a 38 acre property located just west of the San Marcos alignment on the north side of West Broadway Avenue.They are requesting conventional,single family homes by planned development zoning.The proposed planned development will have access points at Thunderbird and Apache Trail,an entrance on 4th Avenue and one on Broadway.The main street of Thunderbird will be non-linear to break up potential speeding problems.The west side of the subdivision will have an open,landscaped area for drainage.The drainage will be worked out in fine detail during preliminary and final platting.The site plan shows a lower density type development of about 3.6 units per acre.There will be two lot sizes:45'wide lots of approximately 4,950 sq.ft.and 65'wide lots of approximately 6,600 sq.ft.There will be 79 larger lots and 50 smaller lots, with the smaller lots on the north side.The homes will be similar to the Renaissance Point homes,with six different models and a variety of elevation choices.Presently this property is designated in the general plan as medium density,and the existing zoning is multi -family.The rezoning will bring the zoning into compliance with the general plan.The developers are asking for deviations in a smaller lot size,smaller lot width and lesser setbacks.The Planning & Zoning Commission suggested deleting some of the smaller lots to increase the widths and create larger lots,and they wanted larger side yard setbacks.The developers believe they have a product that the market is REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 5 OF 16 demanding.This development is less dense than Renaissance Point and has a greater amount of larger lots.Neighboring property owners were at the Planning & Zoning meeting and voiced concerns on the drainage and the 6'8" wall.The commission did recommend approval of the rezoning with stipulations of the minimum lot size being no smaller than 5400 sq.ft.,a minimum width of 54',five foot setbacks on both sides,a maximum of 6'8" masonry decorative wall,landscaping to be coordinated with the Parks & Recreation Department, preliminary and final plat shall conform with the approved concept plan with all development according to city's codes and ordinances.They recommended approval because it will bring the property into general plan compliance and it promotes quality,conventional housing.The developer indicated at the time that he is not inclined to change the project.He stated they have recently received a stack of protest petitions which are not valid petitions as they have not been properly filled out or notarized.They do,however, address the neighborhood concerns.They are mostly concerned about the increase of traffic in their neighborhood.They would like the traffic issue to be addressed by council,which is a separate issue. Councilmember Barker asked if there was any indication that this would be an age restricted development. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated this is to be a family development. Vice Mayor Richmond opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, asked what the proposed price range on the homes would be. Councilmember Surra stated this is the ordinance only for rezoning. Mr.Rex Ross of Canterbury Communities,10201 S.51st Street in Phoenix,addressed the council.He stated this project refines the Renaissance Point project and uses more city staff input.He laid out some of the design elements for everyone to see. This project is half the size of Renaissance Point with a lower density and uses patio homes and family homes,with almost twice as many family homes as patio homes.The average square footage of the project per lot is 6,638 sq.ft.Those lots less than 5,000 sq.ft number eleven.This proposal has a lower density than all the communities around it,having 3.6 units per acre. The open space accounts for 15% of the project.They anticipate Broadway Road to be wider,and they will improve it and landscape it with a wide frontage. A retention area will have picnic tables and grass and will mitigate the drainage problem.There will be other open spaces throughout the community. They will be lowering the wall height and planting foliage that will not obscure the views.He described the circuitous route and changes being made REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 6 OF 16 to Thunderbird Road.He stated they would meet with neighborhood representatives and staff to work out any solution they can on the traffic problem. Councilmember Durbala stated they are supposed to be discussing the rezoning of this,not the plat plan. Councilmember Barker questioned the appropriateness of tying the rezoning in with deciding the lot sizes.She stated that is normally the function of the plat itself. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated they were really not doing that. Councilmember Durbala stated it is written in the ordinance so they are deciding lot sizes. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated the planning commission made those recommendations,which is what was brought to the council.The plan is a concept only.He agreed that more was given to them then was needed,and what was given to them was the planning commission's recommendations to act as a guide. Councilmember Barker stated the recommendations should not be part of an ordinance. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated that was the way they passed the recommendation,and his staff is passing that on.He stated it is council's choice whether to leave it in the ordinance or delete it. Councilmember Barker stated they could delete that part from the ordinance,and simply choose to zone or rezone. Mr.Rex Ross agreed that they should only be considering the rezoning.He stated the zoning is consistent with the general plan and asked for their support.He stated the majority of calls he has received on the rezoning expressed support for the single family housing. He stated they hope to improve the drainage conditions for the area,to improve the nuisance nature of the property,to improve the street circulation,and provide various construction along Broadway which will bring in impact fees and revenues. public hearing on the item. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 7 OF 16 Vice Mayor Richmond opened the Mr.Gerald Buckley,280 S. Thunderbird,addressed the council.He stated he has property adjacent to the project,and the preliminary plat showed a cul-de-sac would be next to his property.He stated it now looks like it has been taken out and another entrance added. Councilmember Durbala interrupted to state this is again talking about the plat and the issue at hand is rezoning. ask Mr.Ross about that. Mr.Gerald Buckley stated he would Councilmember Durbala stated this is a conceptual drawing,it must come back to planning and zoning and then back to the city. Mr.Gerald Buckley stated he would be in favor of opening up 4th Avenue for another entrance and exit.He stated there was a stop sign at 4th Avenue and Gold which should stop the racing. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, addressed the council.He started to comment on the drainage issue. Councilmember Barker interrupted to state they are not discussing a development of any kind.They are choosing how to zone this property. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated he was on the Planning & Zoning Commission earlier and revisions to the general plan were discussed at length.He does not recall changing any part of the general plan from multi -family to single family. Councilmember Barker stated this is already in the general plan as single family.They are deciding tonight whether to meet the stipulations in the general plan. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated to go from single family to multi -family has implications to the city at large.He stated there is multi -family next to this,making this high density single family next to multi -family.In other projects before this council,you had the single family people complaining about the multi -family coming in.It seemed hypocritical to him to change the designation. Mr.Bill Washburn,1765 W.19th Avenue,addressed the council.He commented the new construction in Apache Junction is a good value in regards to the community,the views,and the quality of the homes.He believes it could be overlooked by some people if the lot sizes are a little too big. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 8 OF 16 Councilmember Durbala stated they are only discussing the rezoning of the parcel,the plans are not being discussed. Mr.Bill Washburn asked what the rezoning consisted of. Councilmember Durbala stated the applicant is asking for the property to be rezoned for a particular use. There is not a plat plan to go along with this at this time. Mr.Bill Washburn asked what it was being rezoned from. Councilmembers Barker and Durbala stated it was being rezoned from multi -family to single family.Councilmember Durbala stated that is all they are asking for.They may get the rezoning and in two years decide they do not want to build this.The rest of this comes back later through another process. Mr.Bill Washburn stated if it goes to single family it will draw families like his and they are very happy to be here. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated part of the problem here is twofold.One,council has been used to getting the rezoning request accompanied by a plat,in most cases,up until now.Secondly,the zoning ordinance excludes multi -family zoning from changing to a lower density of single family zoning without going through a rezoning procedure. Councilmember Surra apologized to the public for the way this was presented to the council.This led the people to believe they could speak on anything they heard at the presentation.It was also misleading to her as she felt she should hear them out.She stated they would have the chance to speak when the plat was given to them for council to decide if the development will be developed. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias apologized for the confusion by giving them more information than they needed. However,he stated with this being a planned development rezoning certain parameters need to be approved.Minimum and maximum lot sizes should be determined with the overall configuration determined. Council in general stated that is not what they want to do in the ordinance. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 9 OF 16 Councilmember Surra stated it is misleading to the developer to think he has anything set in stone as to how he is to develop that property. Mr.Russell Reardon,370 S.Copper Drive,addressed the council stating he represented Lucille Richardson of 1381 W.4th Avenue.He stated they are for the rezoning,and requested council to vote on the rezoning. Vice Mayor Richmond closed the public hearing and called for a motion. Councilmember Barker MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.989 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED. Councilmember Hendricks SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. City Clerk Kathy Connelly read Ordinance No.989 by title only. Councilmember Barker MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.989,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS:THAT EVERYTHING FROM "STIPULATIONS" TO "SECTION II"BE DELETED. MOTION.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.987,CASE PZ-96-24 MINI -STORAGE FACILITY ) )Development Services Director Larry Harmer briefed the council on the item.He stated he was asked to REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 10 OF 16 explain the difference between a subdivision rezoning and a commercial/industrial rezoning to a planned development.The major difference is the commercial/industrial deals with a single lot and use,which means the variances and issues must be addressed early in the process.In the previous subdivision rezonings,the preliminary plat was included with the rezoning. The rezoning tonight did not have the preliminary plat with it.This item is a commercial request from Local Business CB -1 to General Commercial by Planned Development C-3/PD for a commercial mini -storage.It is a 4 acre site on West Baseline Road midway between Ironwood and the Delaware alignment.The general plan shows a commercial/industrial overlay for this land.The current zoning does not allow specific use for the mini -storage.They did require the planned development to be attached to it per council's previous wishes.This is advantageous to the applicant as there are variations to the zoning requested.This is a typical mini -storage with some open-air covered.The variations are along the rear and side property lines where the buildings abut.Instead of an 8'wall,they are proposing a 9'wall integral to the building.They are asking that the landscaping requirement in that location be removed due to the length of the buildings to prevent them from becoming trash areas.There would also be a security breach as they would create pockets for people to hide in.In return they are doing additional landscaping in the front setback with additional sizes of materials and quantities of materials along Baseline Road.There will be a continuous 10' strip of landscaping in front of the open air storage.The elevation along Baseline Road is far from the typical mini -storage facility.The detailed false facade is over the entire property.It gives the appearance of commercial storefronts.A manager's quarters will be at the main entry.The Planning & Zoning Commission gave it unanimous approval on March 25,1997, with 11 stipulations.They can go directly into building permits from this point.The stipulations cover setbacks,buffering,percentage of open space, parking requirements,driveway aisles,fire district requirements and other things of that nature. Councilmember Surra asked for the open air storage spaces to be explained. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated it would be for boats,trailers,RV's or something of that nature. would be covered or uncovered. Harmer stated that was unknown. Councilmember Surra asked if they Development Services Director Larry Ms.Linda Pierson spoke from the audience and stated that had not been decided upon as of yet. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 11 OF 16 Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated that area would be behind the front elevation with an 8'wall down the property line with landscaping screening,plus it is set back from the actual property line,approximately 60'from the street. Ms Linda Pierson,representing the property owner Alexander White,addressed the council.She stated she believes i t is a real nice project and thanked Larry,Kate and the other city staff who gave them a lot of help developing the project. Vice Mayor Richmond opened the public hearing on the item.There being no one wishing to speak,she closed the public hearing and reopened the item to questions by the council.There being no further questions,she called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.987 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED. Councilmember Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. City Clerk Kathy Connelly read Ordinance No.987 by title only. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.987,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED. Councilmember Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous.(Councilmember Surra stated she hoped they would consider covering the open air storage.) The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS. PROPOSED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION AND THE APACHE JUNCTION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF THE CHAMBER BUILDING REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 15,1997 PAGE 12 OF 16 )Assistant City Manager George Hoffman briefed the council on this item.He stated they have a copy of the final draft before them and Carol Doty has the permission of the executive board to sign this,but the entire board has not reviewed it and will not see it until Thursday.He requested City Clerk Kathy Connelly to go over the few changes from the original agreement. City Clerk Kathy Connelly stated City Attorney Bill Farrell went over the contract and made some very minor changes.In the new agreement,on page one,paragraph three,the last sentence has been reworded.Section Twelve of the old agreement has been deleted.In the old agreement it was date specific,in this agreement the date is tied into the close of escrow.On page three in the new agreement the notarization of the mayor's signature has been removed as there is no requirement for it.She stated those were the only changes. Vice Mayor Richmond opened the item to discussion by the council.There being no discussion,she called for a motion. Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT THE REVISED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION AND THE APACHE JUNCTION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF THE CHAMBER BUILDING BE APPROVED. Councilmember Hendricks SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. NEW BUSINESS. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.97-12; REDESIGNATION OF USE OF APACHE JUNCTION AREA AIRSPACE )City Clerk Kathy Connelly briefed the council on this item.She stated this is regarding a pending FAA redesignation that would make some changes for this area.The first change would change the Phoenix Terminal Control Area,bringing the 25 mile arc closer to Apache Junction,which would increase the air traffic over Apache Junction and decrease it over the area of Chandler and Cave Creek.They are also going to lower the base altitude by 1,000 feet which would concentrate the general aviation,or small planes,traffic at a lower elevations.This request is being prompted by the major airlines under a claim that it will save them fuel.It is being supported by the City of Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport.
